(I've also deleted the completion / demolition dates from the main entry above. They're just meant for buildings, and usually aren't needed for natural features like a hill. The exception is that Hong Kong does like demolishing hills and using them for reclamation, so in that case a demolition date makes sense!)

 yes hk is like that sometimes isnt it :) . Thanks for the help.
